GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

I. General Eligibility Requirements for Use of Form F-10

A. Form F-10 may be used for the registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933

(the “Securities Act”), including securities to be issued in an exchange offer or in

connection with a statutory amalgamation, merger, arrangement or other reorganization

requiring the vote of shareholders of the participating companies (a “business

combination”).

B. This Form may not be used for registration of derivative securities except: (1) warrants,

options and rights, provided that such securities and the underlying securities to which

they relate are issued by the Registrant, its parent or an affiliate of either; and (2)

convertible securities, provided that such securities are convertible only into securities of

the Registrant, its parent or an affiliate of either.

Instruction: For purposes of this Form, an “affiliate” of a person is anyone who

beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, more than

10 percent of the outstanding equity shares of such person. The determination of a

person’s affiliates shall be made as of the end of such person’s most recently completed

fiscal year.

C. Form F-10 is available to any Registrant that:

(1) is incorporated or organized under the laws of Canada or any Canadian province or

territory;

(2) is a foreign private issuer;

(3) has been subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of any securities

commission or equivalent regulatory authority in Canada for a period of at least 12

calendar months immediately preceding the filing of this Form, and is currently in

compliance with such obligations, provided, however, that in case of a business

combination, each participating company other than the successor Registrant must

meet such 12-month reporting obligation, except that any such participating

company shall not be required to meet such reporting requirement if other

participating companies whose assets and gross revenues, respectively, would

contribute at least 80 percent of the total assets and gross revenues from continuing

operations of the successor Registrant, as measured based on pro forma combination

of the participating companies’ most recently completed fiscal years, each meet

such reporting requirement;

(4) has an aggregate market value of the public float of its outstanding equity shares of

$75 million or more; provided, however, that in the case of a business combination,

the aggregate market value of the public float of the outstanding equity shares of

each participating company other than the successor Registrant is $75 million or

more, except that any such participating company shall not be required to meet such

3 of 28

public float requirement if other participating companies whose assets and gross

revenues, respectively, would contribute at least 80 percent of the total assets and

gross revenues from continuing operations of the successor Registrant, as measured

based on pro forma combination of the participating companies’ most recently

completed fiscal years, each meet such public float requirement; and provided

further, that in the case of a business combination, such public float requirement

shall be deemed satisfied in the case of a participating company whose equity shares

were the subject of an exchange offer that was registered or would have been

eligible for registration on Form F-8, Form F-10 or Form F-80, or a tender offer in

connection with which Schedule 13E-4F or 14D-1F was filed or could have been

filed, that terminated within the last 12 months, if the participating company would

have satisfied such public float requirement immediately prior to commencement of

such exchange or tender offer; and

(5) if it does not meet the requirements of I.C.(4) or I.H., discloses in Part II of the

registration statement that it has a reasonable belief that it would have been eligible

to make an offering of investment grade, non-convertible securities on Form F-9 as

of December 30, 2012, discloses the basis for such belief, and files a final

prospectus for an offering under the registration statement on or prior to December

31, 2015.

Instructions:

For purposes of this Form, “foreign private issuer” shall be construed in

accordance with Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

For purposes of this Form, the “public float” of specified securities shall mean

only such securities held by persons other than affiliates of the issuer.

For purposes of this Form, “equity shares” shall mean common shares, nonvoting equity shares and subordinate or restricted voting equity shares, but

shall not include preferred shares.

For purposes of this Form, the market value of outstanding equity shares

(whether or not held by affiliates) shall be computed by use of the price at

which such shares were last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of

such shares, in the principal market for such shares as of a date within 60 days

prior to the date of filing. If there is no market for any of such securities, the

book value of such securities computed as of the latest practicable date prior

to the filing of this Form shall be used for purposes of calculating the market

value, unless the issuer of such securities is in bankruptcy or receivership or

has an accumulated capital deficit, in which case one-third of the principal

amount, par value or stated value of such securities shall be used.

D. In the case of an exchange offer, the issuer of the securities to be exchanged (the “subject

securities”) for securities of the Registrant shall be incorporated or organized under the

laws of Canada or any Canadian province or territory and be a foreign private issuer.

4 of 28

E. In the case of a business combination, each participating company shall be incorporated

or organized under the laws of Canada or any Canadian province or territory and be a

foreign private issuer.

F. In the case of an exchange offer, the securities to be registered on this Form shall be

offered to U.S. holders upon terms and conditions not less favorable than those offered to

any other holder of the same class of subject securities.

G. In the case of a business combination, the securities to be registered on this Form shall be

offered to U.S. holders upon terms and conditions not less favorable than those offered to

any other holder of the same class of such securities of the participating company.

Instructions:

For purposes of exchange offers, the term “U.S. holder” shall mean any

person whose address appears on the records of the issuer of the subject

securities, any voting trustee, any depositary, any share transfer agent or any

person acting in a similar capacity on behalf of the issuer of the subject

securities as being located in the United States.

For purposes of business combinations, the term “U.S. holder” shall mean any

person whose address appears on the records of a participating company, any

voting trustee, any depositary, any share transfer agent or any person acting in

a similar capacity on behalf of a participating company as being located in the

United States.

For purposes of this Form, the class of subject securities shall not include any

securities that may be converted into or are exchangeable for the subject

securities.

H. With respect to registration of debt securities or preferred securities on this Form, if the

Registrant is a majority-owned subsidiary, it shall be deemed to meet the requirements of

I.C.(3) and (4) above if the parent of the Registrant-subsidiary meets the requirements of

I.C. above and fully and unconditionally guarantees the securities being registered as to

principal and interest (if debt securities) or as to liquidation preference, redemption price

and dividends (if preferred shares); provided, however, that the securities of the

subsidiary are only convertible or exchangeable, if at all, for the securities of the parent.

I. If the Registrant is a successor Registrant subsisting after a business combination, it shall

be deemed to meet the 36-month reporting requirement of I.C.(3) above if: (1) the time

the successor Registrant has been subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of

any securities commission or equivalent regulatory authority in Canada, when added

separately to the time each predecessor had been subject to such requirements at the time

of the business combination, in each case equals at least 36 calendar months, provided,

however, that any predecessor need not be considered for purposes of the reporting

history calculation if the reporting histories of predecessors whose assets and gross

revenues, respectively, would contribute at least 80 percent of the total assets and gross

revenues from continuing operations of the successor Registrant, as measured based on

5 of 28

pro forma combination of such participating companies’ most recently completed fiscal

years immediately prior to the business combination, when combined with the reporting

history of the successor Registrant in each case satisfy such 36-month reporting

requirement and (2) the successor Registrant has been subject to such continuous

disclosure requirements since the business combination, and is currently in compliance

with its obligations thereunder.

J. This Form shall not be used for registration of securities if no takeover bid circular or

issuer bid circular (in the case of an exchange offer) or information circular (in the case

of a business combination) or prospectus (in all other cases) is prepared pursuant to the

requirements of any Canadian jurisdiction due to the availability of an exemption from

such requirements.

K. This Form shall not be used if the Registrant or, in the case of an exchange offer, the

issuer of the subject securities is an investment company registered or required to be

registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

II. Application of General Rules and Regulations

A. A registration statement on this Form, and any amendment thereto, shall become

effective in accordance with Rule 467 under the Securities Act.

B. The rules comprising Regulation C under the Securities Act shall not apply to filings on

this Form unless specifically referred to in the Form. Instead, the rules and regulations

applicable in the home jurisdiction regarding the Form and method of preparation of

disclosure documents shall apply to filings on this Form. A registration statement or

amendment thereto on this Form shall be deemed to be filed on the proper form unless

objection to the Form is made by the Commission prior to the effective date. Securities

Act rules and regulations other than Regulation C shall apply to filings on this Form

unless specifically excluded in this Form.

C. Rule 408 under the Securities Act, which provides that in addition to the information

expressly required to be included in the registration statement, there shall be added such

further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements,

in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, shall apply to

filings on this Form.

D. A registrant must file the registration statement in electronic format via the Commission's

Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system in accordance with

the EDGAR rules set forth in Regulation S-T (17 CFR Part 232). For assistance with

EDGAR questions, call the Filer Support Office at (202) 551-8900.

Include an exhibit index in the registration statement, which must appear before the

required signatures in the document. The exhibit index must list each exhibit according to

the letter or number assigned to it. If an exhibit is incorporated by reference, this must be

noted in the exhibit index. Each exhibit identified in the exhibit index (other than an

exhibit filed in eXtensible Business Reporting Language) must include an active link to

an exhibit that is filed with the registration statement or, if the exhibit is incorporated by

6 of 28

reference an active hyperlink to the exhibit separately filed on EDGAR. If the registration

statement is amended, each amendment must include active hyperlinks to the exhibits

required with the amendment. For paper filings, the pages of the manually signed original

registration statement should be numbered in sequence, and the exhibit index should give

the page number in the sequential numbering system where each exhibit can be found.

If filing the registration statement in paper under a hardship exemption in Rule 201 or

202 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.201 or 232.202), or as otherwise permitted, a

registrant must file with the Commission at its principal office five copies of the complete

registration statement and any amendments, including exhibits and all other documents

filed as a part of the registration statement or amendment. The registrant must bind, staple

or otherwise compile each copy in one or more parts without stiff covers. The registrant

must further bind the registration statement or amendment on the side or stitching margin

in a manner that leaves the reading matter legible. The registrant must provide three

additional copies of the registration statement or amendment without exhibits to the

Commission.

E. Any amendment to a registration statement on this Form shall be filed under cover of an

appropriate facing sheet, shall be numbered consecutively in the order in which filed, and

shall indicate on the facing sheet the applicable registration form on which the

amendment is prepared and the file number of the registration statement.

If, however, an amendment to the home jurisdiction document(s) is filed after

effectiveness of this registration statement that increases the number of securities that

may be sold, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment hereto, a new registration

statement shall be filed on this Form. As provided in Rule 429, the prospectus included in

the new registration statement shall be deemed to include a prospectus covering unsold

securities registered previously. If this is the case, the following legend shall appear at the

bottom of the facing page of the registration statement: “Pursuant to Rule 429 under the

Securities Act, the prospectus contained in this registration statement relates to

registration statement[s] 33-[insert file numbers of previous registration statements].”

F. An electronic filer must provide the signatures required for the registration statement or

amendment in accordance with Regulation S-T Rule 302 (17 CFR 232.302). A registrant

filing in paper must have at least one copy of the registration statement or amendment

signed in accordance with Securities Act Rule 402(e) (17 CFR 230.402(e)) by the persons

whose signatures are required for this registration statement. A registrant must also

conform the unsigned copies.

G. At the time of filing this registration statement, the Registrant shall pay to the

Commission in accordance with the instructions to this Form and Rule 111 under the

Securities Act a fee in U.S. dollars in the amount prescribed by Section 6 of the Securities

Act. The amount of securities to be registered on this Form need not exceed the amount

to be offered in the United States as part of the offering. The filing fee shall be computed

in accordance with Rule 457 except that Rule 457(f) shall not apply.

H. In the case of an exchange offer, the registration fee is to be calculated as follows:

7 of 28

(1) Upon the basis of the market value of the securities that may be received by the

Registrant or cancelled in the exchange offer from United States residents as

established by the price of securities of the same class, as determined in accordance

with paragraph (4) of this section.

(2) If there is no market for the securities to be received by the Registrant or cancelled

in the exchange offer, the book value of such securities computed as of the latest

practicable date prior to the date of filing the registration statement shall be used,

unless the issuer of such securities is in bankruptcy or receivership or has an

accumulated capital deficit, in which case one-third of the principal amount, par

value or stated value of such securities shall be used.

(3) If any cash may be received by the Registrant from United States residents in

connection with the exchange offer, the amount thereof shall be added to the value

of the securities to be received by the Registrant or cancelled as computed in

accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) of this section. If any cash is to be paid by the

Registrant in connection with the exchange offer, the amount thereof shall be

deducted from the value of the securities to be received by the Registrant in

exchange as computed in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) of this section.

(4) For purposes of the registration fee, the market value of the securities received or

cancelled shall be the average of the high and low prices reported or the average of

the bid and asked prices of such stock, in the principal market for such stock as of a

date within 30 days prior to the date of filing.

I. In the case of a business combination, the registration fee is to be calculated as follows:

(1) Upon the basis of the market value of the equity securities of the predecessor

companies held by United States residents being offered the Registrant’s securities,

as established by the price of the predecessors’ securities of the same class

determined in accordance with paragraph (4) of this section.

(2) If there is no market for the securities of the predecessor companies, the book value

of such securities computed as of the latest practicable date prior to the date of filing

the registration statement shall be used, unless the issuer of such securities is in

bankruptcy or receivership or has an accumulated capital deficit, in which case onethird of the principal amount, par value or stated value of such securities shall be

used.

(3) If any cash may be received by the Registrant from United States residents in

connection with the business combination, the amount thereof shall be added to the

value of the securities as computed in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) of this

section. If any cash is to be paid by the Registrant in connection with the business

combination, the amount thereof shall be deducted from the value of the securities

as computed in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2) of this section.

(4) For purposes of the registration fee, the market value of a predecessor’s equity

securities shall be the average of the high and low prices reported or the average of

8 of 28

the bid and asked prices of such securities, in the principal market for such

securities as of a date within 30 days prior to the date of filing.

J. A registrant must file the registration statement or amendment in electronic format in the

English language in accordance with Regulation S-T Rule 306 (17 CFR 232.306). A

registrant may file part of the prospectus or exhibit or other attachment to the registration

statement or amendment in both French and English if it included the French text to

comply with the requirements of the Canadian securities administrator or other Canadian

authority and, for an electronic filing, if the filing is an HTML document, as defined in

Regulation S-T Rule 11 (17 CFR 232.11). For both an electronic filing and a paper filing,

a registrant may provide an English translation or English summary of a foreign language

document as an exhibit or other attachment to the registration statement or amendment as

permitted by the rules of the applicable Canadian securities administrator.

K. A paper filer must number sequentially one signed original of the registration statement

or amendment (in addition to any internal numbering that otherwise may be present) by

handwritten, typed, printed or other legible form of notation from the first page through

the last page of the registration statement or amendment, including any exhibits or

attachments. A paper filer must disclose the total number of pages on the first page of the

sequentially numbered registration statement or amendment.

L. Where the offering registered on this Form is being made pursuant to the home

jurisdiction's shelf prospectus offering procedures or procedures for pricing offerings

after the final receipt has been issued, each supplement to, or supplemented version of,

the home jurisdiction disclosure document(s) prepared under such procedures shall be

filed with the Commission in electronic format via the EDGAR system within one

business day after such supplement or supplemented version is filed with the principal

jurisdiction. Such filings shall be deemed not to constitute amendments to this

registration statement. Each such filing shall contain in the upper right hand corner of the

cover page the following legend, which may be set forth in longhand if legible: "Filed

pursuant to General Instruction II.L. of Form F-10; File No. 33-[insert number of the

registration statement]."

Note: Offerings registered on this Form, whether or not made contemporaneously in

Canada, may be made pursuant to National Policy Statement No. 44 shelf prospectus

offering procedures and procedures for pricing offerings after the final receipt has been

issued. Rules 415 and 430A under the Securities Act are not available for offerings

registered on this Form.

M. If the offering to be registered on this Form is not being made contemporaneously in

Canada, the registration statement on this Form and any amendments hereto shall be

prepared and filed as if the offering were being made contemporaneously in Canada. The

Commission has been advised that the principal jurisdiction in Canada designated by the

Registrant in connection with such an offering will require the filing of such documents

and may select them for review.

III. Compliance with Exchange Act and Auditor Independence and Reporting

Requirements

A. Pursuant to Rule 15d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”),

reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and the requirements of

Regulation 15D thereunder) arising solely from an offering of securities registered on this

Form may be met by filing with the Commission, under cover of Forms 40-F and 6-K,

certain home jurisdiction documents. Registrants’ attention is directed, however, towards

other provisions of the Exchange Act that may be applicable, and specifically to the

provisions of Sections 12(b) and 12(g) and Regulation M (17 CFR 242.100 through

242.105).

B. The Commission’s rules on auditor independence, as codified in Section 600 of the

Codification of Financial Reporting Policies, apply to auditor reports on all financial

statements that are included in this registration statement, except that such rules do not

apply with respect to periods prior to the most recent fiscal year for which financial

statements are included in the registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the

issuer on Form F-8, Form F-9, Form F-10 or Form F-80 or under the Exchange Act filed

by the issuer on Form 40-F. Notwithstanding the exception in the previous sentence, such

rules do apply with respect to any periods prior to the most recent fiscal year if the issuer

previously was required to file with the Commission a report or registration statement

containing an audit report on financial statements for such prior periods as to which the

Commission’s rules on auditor independence applied.

C. Independent accountants reporting on financial statements included in the registration

statement should consider Canadian auditing guidelines pertaining to the Canada-U.S.

reporting conflict with respect to contingencies and going concern considerations. If

additional comments for U.S. readers are appropriate under those guidelines but are not

included in the prospectus itself, those comments should be included with the legends

required by Item 3 of Part I hereof. In addition, the accountant’s consent specifically

should refer to any additional comments provided for U.S. readers.

D. Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(g) under the Exchange Act, the provisions of Rule 13e-4 are not

applicable and pursuant to Rule 14d-1(b) under the Exchange Act, the provisions of

Sections 14(d)(1) through 14(d)(7) of the Exchange Act, Regulation 14D under the

Exchange Act and Schedule TO thereunder, and Rule 14e-1 under Regulation 14E, are

not applicable to a transaction involving offerings of securities that may be registered on

this Form in connection with exchange offers; provided that, if an exemption has been

granted from the requirements of Canadian federal, provincial and/or territorial laws,

regulations or policies, and the tender offer does not comply with requirements that

otherwise would be required by Commission tender offer rules, the Registrant shall

comply with such provisions of the Exchange Act. Such transaction is not exempt from

the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b), 13(e) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act or Rule

10b-5, 13e-4(b)(1) or 14e-3 thereunder, if the transaction otherwise is subject to those

sections.

PART I — INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO

OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Item 1. Home Jurisdiction Document

In the case of a business combination, the prospectus shall consist of the entire disclosure

document or documents used to solicit votes of security holders in connection with the proposed

business combination in any Canadian jurisdiction. Except as noted hereinafter, such disclosure

document(s) shall be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of such

jurisdiction(s) as interpreted and applied by the securities commission(s) or other regulatory

authorities in such jurisdiction(s).

In the case of an exchange offer, the prospectus shall consist of the entire disclosure

document or documents used to offer securities in any Canadian jurisdiction. Except as noted

hereinafter, such disclosure documents shall be prepared in accordance with the disclosure

requirements of such jurisdiction(s) as interpreted and applied by the securities commission(s) or

other regulatory authorities in such jurisdiction(s).

In all other cases, the prospectus shall consist of the entire disclosure document or

documents used to offer the securities of the Registrant in the principal jurisdiction (or, if the

offering is not being made contemporaneously in Canada, as if the offering were made in such

jurisdiction). Except as noted hereinafter, such disclosure document(s) shall be prepared in

accordance with the disclosure requirements of such jurisdiction as interpreted and applied by

the securities commission or other regulatory authority in such jurisdiction.

The prospectus used in the United States shall contain additional information and legends

required by this Form. It need not include any documents incorporated by reference into

disclosure document(s) used in Canada and not required to be delivered to offerees or purchasers

(in the case of an exchange offer) or to securityholders being solicited (in the case of a business

combination) pursuant to Canadian law or to offerees or purchasers (in all other cases) pursuant

to the laws of the principal jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such prospectus used in the United States need not

contain any disclosure applicable solely to Canadian offerees or purchasers that would not be

material to offerees or purchasers in the United States, including, without limitation,

(i) any Canadian “red herring” legend; (ii) any discussion of Canadian tax considerations

other than those material to U.S. offerees or purchasers; (iii) the names of any Canadian

underwriters not acting as underwriters in the United States or a description of the Canadian plan

of distribution (except to the extent necessary to describe the material facts of the U.S. plan of

distribution); (iv) any description of offerees’ or purchasers’ statutory rights under applicable

Canadian, provincial or territorial securities legislation (except to the extent such rights are

available to U.S. offerees or purchasers); or (v) certificates of the issuer or any underwriter.

Item 2. Additional Information

The following information also shall be provided to offerees as part of the prospectus.

11 of 28

Financial Statements.

Any financial statements included in the home jurisdiction document must be reconciled to

U.S. GAAP as required by Item 18 of Form 20-F under the Exchange Act.

Item 3. Informational Legends

The following legends, to the extent applicable, shall appear on the outside front cover

page of the prospectus (or on a sticker thereto) in bold-face roman type at least as high as tenpoint modern type and at least two points leaded:

“This offering is made by a foreign issuer that is permitted, under a

multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this

prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of its home country. Prospective

investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United

States. Financial statements included or incorporated herein, if any, have been prepared in

accordance with foreign generally accepted accounting principles, and may be subject to

foreign auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to

financial statements of United States companies.”

“Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the securities described

herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in the home country of the

Registrant. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United

States may not be described fully herein.”

“The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the federal securities laws

may be affected adversely by the fact that the Registrant is incorporated or organized under

the laws of a foreign country, that some or all of its officers and directors may be residents

of a foreign country, that some or all of the underwriters or experts named in the

registration statement may be residents of a foreign country, and that all or a substantial

portion of the assets of the Registrant and said persons may be located outside the United

States.”

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION

PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY

REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.”

The following legend shall appear in the manner noted above in any prospectus relating to

an exchange offer.

“Prospective investors should be aware that, during the period of the exchange offer,

the Registrant or its affiliates, directly or indirectly, may bid for or make purchases of the

securities to be distributed or to be exchanged, or certain related securities, as permitted by

applicable laws or regulations of Canada or its provinces or territories.”

12 of 28

Any prospectus to be used before the effective date of the registration statement shall

contain, on the outside front cover page (or on a sticker thereto) the following statement printed

in red ink in type as large as that generally used in the body of the prospectus:

“Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A registration

statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange

Commission. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to

the time the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus shall not constitute

an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these

securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to

registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such State.”

The Registrant should also include in the prospectus any legend or information required by

the laws of any jurisdiction in which the securities are to be offered.

Note to Item 3. If the home-jurisdiction document(s) are delivered through an electronic medium,

the issuer may satisfy the legibility requirements for the required legends relating to type size

and font by presenting the legends in any manner reasonably calculated to draw investor

attention to it.

Item 4. Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference

Information called for by this Form, including exhibits, may be incorporated by reference

at the Registrant’s option from documents that the Registrant has filed previously with the

Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or submitted to the

Commission pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act. For information that you are

incorporating by reference, identify the document where the information was originally filed or

submitted and the specific location of the information within that document. The statement must

be made at the particular place where the information is required, if applicable. Unless expressly

permitted or required, disclosure must not be incorporated by reference from a second document

if that second document incorporates information pertinent to such disclosure by reference to a

third document. If any information is incorporated by reference into the prospectus, the

prospectus must provide the name, address, and telephone number of an officer of the Registrant

PART II — INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES

OR PURCHASERS

Provide a brief description of the indemnification provisions relating to directors, officers

and controlling persons of the Registrant against liability arising under the Securities Act

(including any provision of the underwriting agreement which relates to indemnification of the

underwriter or its controlling persons by the Registrant against such liabilities where a director,

officer or controlling person of the Registrant is such an underwriter or controlling person

13 of 28

thereof or a member of any firm which is such an underwriter), together with a statement in

substantially the following form:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may

be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the

foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as

expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The exhibits specified below shall be filed as part of the registration statement. Exhibits

shall be appropriately lettered or numbered for convenient reference.

(1) In the case of an exchange offer or business combination, any reports or information

that, in accordance with the requirements of the jurisdiction of incorporation or

organization of the subject issuer or, in the case of a business combination, in

accordance with the requirements of the jurisdiction(s) of incorporation or

organization of companies involved in the transaction other than the Registrant,

must be made publicly available by the Registrant in connection with the

transaction.

(2) In the case of an exchange offer or a business combination, a copy of any agreement

relating to the proposed acquisition or business combination, as applicable.

(3) In all other cases, any reports or information that in accordance with the

requirements of the principal jurisdiction must be made publicly available in

connection with the offering (or, if the offering is not being made

contemporaneously in Canada, the reports or information that would be required to

be made publicly available by the principal jurisdiction if the offering were made in

Canada).

(4) Copies of any documents incorporated by reference into the registration statement

and any publicly available documents filed with the principal jurisdiction or any

other Canadian regulatory authority concurrently with the prospectus.

part of the offering document, or is named as having prepared or certified a report or

valuation for use in connection with the offering document, the manually signed,

written consent of such person.

If any such person is named as having prepared or certified any other report or

valuation (other than a public official document or statement) which is used in

connection with the registration statement, but is not named as having prepared or

certified such report or valuation for use in connection with the registration

statement, the manually signed, written consent of such person, unless the

Commission dispenses with such filing as impracticable or as involving undue

hardship in accordance with Rule 437 under the Securities Act.

14 of 28

Any other consent required by Rule 436,438 or 439 under the Securities Act. Every

amendment relating to a certified financial statement shall include the manually

signed, written consent of the certifying accountant to the use of his certificate in

connection with the amended financial statements in the registration statement or

prospectus and to being named as having certified such financial statements.

NOTE: The consents required by this item shall specifically indicate consent

regarding use of the report or valuation in the registration statement filed in the

United States.

(6) If any name is signed to the registration statement or amendment pursuant to power

of attorney, manually signed copies of such power of attorney and, if the name of

any officer signing on behalf of the Registrant is signed pursuant to a power of

attorney, certified copies of a resolution of the Registrant’s board of directors or

similar governing body authorizing such signature.

(7) A copy of any indenture relating to the registered securities.

(8) through (100) [Reserved]

(101) Where a registrant prepares its financial statements in accordance with either

generally accepted accounting principles as used in the United States or

International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International

registration statement contains a price or price range.

(b) Permitted to be submitted. Permitted to be submitted to the Commission in the

Article 6 of Regulation S-X (17 CFR 210.6-01 et seq.); and

(ii) Interactive Data File is not required to be submitted to the Commission

under subparagraph (a) of this paragraph (101).

15 of 28

Commission if the registrant prepares its financial statements in accordance

with Article 6 of Regulation S-X (17 CFR 210.6-01 et seq.).

decrease the amount of securities of one or more registered classes, a registrant that did not rely

on Rule 457(o) to calculate the filing fee due for the initial filing or latest pre-effective

amendment to such filing may recalculate the total filing fee due for the registration statement in

its entirety and claim an offset pursuant to Rule 457(b) in the amount of the filing fee previously

paid in connection with the registration statement. This recalculation procedure is not available,

however, if a pre-effective amendment is filed only to increase the amount of securities of one or

more registered classes or add one or more new classes. A pre-effective amendment that uses this

recalculation procedure must include the revised offering amounts as securities to be registered

for which filing fees have not already been paid in connection with the initial filing of this form

3. Table 2: Fee Offset Claims and Sources.

A. Terminology.

For purposes of this Instruction 3 and Table 2, the term “submission” means any (i)

initial filing of, or amendment (pre-effective or post-effective), to a fee-bearing document; or (ii)

fee-bearing form of prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act (§230.424 of this

chapter), in all cases that was accompanied by a contemporaneous fee payment. For purposes of

these instructions to Table 2, a contemporaneous fee payment is the payment of a required fee

that is satisfied through the actual transfer of funds, and does not include any amount of a

required fee satisfied through a claimed fee offset. Instructions 3.B.ii and 3.C.ii require a filer

that claims a fee offset under Rule 457(b) or (p) under the Securities Act (§230.457(b) or (p) of

this chapter) or Rule 0-11(a)(2) under the Exchange Act (§240.0-11(a)(2) of this chapter) to

identify previous submissions with contemporaneous fee payments that are the original source to

which the fee offsets claimed on this filing can be traced. See Instruction 3.D for an example.

B. Rules 457(b) and 0-11(a)(2).

If relying on Rule 457(b) under the Securities Act (§230.457(b) of this chapter) or

Rule 0-11(a)(2) under the Exchange Act (§240.0-11(a)(2) of this chapter) to offset some or all of

the filing fee due on this registration statement by amounts paid in connection with earlier filings

(other than this Form F-10) unless pursuant to Instruction 2.A.iv) relating to the same

transaction, provide the following information:

i. Fee Offset Claims.

For each earlier filed Securities Act registration statement or Exchange Act

document relating to the same transaction from which a fee offset is being claimed, provide the

information that Table 2 requires under the heading “Rules 457(b) and 0-11(a)(2)” for the line

item “Fee Offset Claims”. The “Fee Offset Claimed” column requires the dollar amount of the

previously paid filing fee to be offset against the currently due fee.

23 of 28

Note to Instruction 3.B.i.

If claiming an offset from a Securities Act registration statement, provide a detailed explanation

of the basis for the claimed offset.

ii. Fee Offset Sources.

With respect to amounts claimed as an offset under Rule 457(b) or Rule 011(a)(2), identify those submissions with contemporaneous fee payments that are the original

source to which those amounts can be traced. For each submission identified, provide the

information that Table 2 requires under the heading “Rules 457(b) and 0-11(a)(2)” for the line

item “Fee Offset Sources. The “Fee Paid with Fee Offset Source” column requires the dollar

amount of the contemporaneous fee payment made with respect to each identified submission

that is the source of the fee offset claimed pursuant to Rule 457(b) or 0-11(a)(2).

C. Rule 457(p).

If relying on Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act (§230.457(p) of this chapter) to

offset some or all of the filing fee due on this registration statement with the filing fee previously

paid for unsold securities under an earlier filed registration statement, provide the following

information:

i. Fee Offset Claims.

For each such earlier filed registration statement from which the registrant is

claiming a filing fee offset, provide the information Table 2 requires under the heading “Rule

457(p)” for the line item “Fee Offset Claims”. The “Fee Offset Claimed” column requires the

dollar amount of the previously paid filing fee to be offset against the currently due fee.

Notes to Instruction 3.C.i.

Provide a statement that the registrant has either withdrawn each prior registration

statement or has terminated or completed any offering that included the unsold securities

under the prior registration statements.

If you were not the registrant under the earlier registration statements, entering

information under the heading “Rule 457(p)” pursuant to Instruction 3.C.i affirms that

you are that registrant’s successor, majority-owned subsidiary, or parent owning more

than 50% of the registrant’s outstanding voting securities eligible to claim a filing fee

offset. See the definitions of “successor” and “majority-owned subsidiary” in Rule 405

under the Securities Act (§230.405 of this chapter).

ii. Fee Offset Sources.

With respect to amounts claimed as an offset under Rule 457(p), identify

those submissions with contemporaneous fee payments that are the original source to which

those amounts can be traced. For each submission identified, provide the information Table 2

requires under the heading “Rule 457(p)” for the line item “Fee Offset Sources”. The “Fee Paid

24 of 28

with Fee Offset Source” column requires the dollar amount of the contemporaneous fee payment

made with respect to each identified submission that is the source of the fee offset claimed

pursuant to Rule 457(p).

D. Fee Offset Source Submission Identification Example.

A filer:

• Initially files a registration statement on Form S-1 on 1/15/20X1 (assigned file

number 333-123456) with a fee payment of $10,000;

• Files pre-effective amendment number 1 to the Form S-1 (333-123456) on

2/15/20X1 with a fee payment of $15,000 and the registration statement goes

effective on 2/20/20X1;

• Initially files a registration statement on Form S-1 on 1/15/20X4 (assigned file

number 333-123467) with a fee payment of $25,000 and relies on Rule 457(p) to

claim an offset of $10,000 related to the unsold securities registered on the

previously filed Form S-1 (333-123456) and apply it to the $35,000 filing fee

due and the registration statement goes effective on 2/15/20X4.

• Initially files a registration statement on Form S-1 (assigned file number

333-123478) on 1/15/20X7 with a fee payment of $15,000 and relies on Rule

457(p) to claim an offset of $30,000 related to the unsold securities registered on

the most recently effective Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 and apply

it to the $45,000 filing fee due.

For the registration statement on Form S-1 with file number 333-123478 filed on

1/15/20X7, the filer can satisfy the submission identification requirement when it

claims the $30,000 fee offset from the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4

by referencing any combination of the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4,

the pre-effective amendment to the Form S-1 (333-123456) filed on 2/15/20X1 or

the initial filing of the Form S-1 (333-123456) on 1/15/20X1 in relation to which

contemporaneous fee payments were made equal to $30,000.

One example could be:

• the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 in relation to the payment of

$25,000 made with that submission; and

• the pre-effective amendment to the Form S-1 (333-123456) filed on 2/15/20X1

in relation to the payment of $5,000 out of the payment of $15,000 made with

that submission (it would not matter if the filer cited to this pre-effective

amendment and/or the initial submission of this Form S-1 (333-123456) on

1/15/20X1 as long as singly or together they were cited as relating to a total of

$5,000 in this example).

In this example, the filer could not satisfy the submission identification requirement

solely by citing to the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 because even

though the offset claimed and available from that filing was $30,000, the

25 of 28

contemporaneous fee payment made with that filing ($25,000) was less than the

offset being claimed. As a result, the filer must also identify a prior submission or

submissions with an aggregate of contemporaneous fee payment(s) of $5,000 as the

original source(s) to which the rest of the claimed offset can be traced.

4. Table 3: Combined Prospectuses.

If this Form includes a combined prospectus pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of

1933 (§230.429 of this chapter), provide the information that Table 3 requires for each earlier

effective registration statement that registered securities that may be offered and sold using the

combined prospectus. Include a separate row for each unique combination of security type and

title of each class of those securities. The amount of securities previously registered that may be

offered and sold using the combined prospectus must be expressed in terms of the number of

securities (under column heading “Amount of Securities Previously Registered”), or, if the

related filing fee was calculated in reliance on Rule 457(o), must be expressed in terms of the

maximum aggregate offering price (under column heading “Maximum Aggregate Offering Price

of Securities Previously Registered”).

Note to Instruction 4.

Table 1 should not include the securities registered on an earlier effective registration statement

that may be offered and sold using the combined prospectus under Rule 429.

PART III — UNDERTAKING AND CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
